A New Chapter Blog Hop

Welcome everyone! It is
great to have you here. We are so excited about a new chapter at SEM!
We have recently added a few new design team members and we thought a
blog hop would be the perfect way to introduce them. We have fabulous
prizes and would love to see you all participate!

Each of the Design Team members have created a project with the theme of starting a new chapter to show you on their blogs. Make sure that you hop along to each blog because you never know where there might be surprises somewhere along the way!

We
would love to see you create a layout or mixed media project that
represents a new chapter in your life. Whether you have already
begun this journey or you are thinking about it, we want to know
about it. Sometimes we are forced to start a new chapter for reasons
that are beyond our control. Other times we have been anticipating it
for a really long time. Perhaps you are only in the beginning stages
of this new venture or maybe it's a life long dream and you have been
held back by fear. Is your new chapter exciting or sad? Either way,
others will be blessed when you share your story.

So go ahead and create
this special project and link it up here before Friday October 5th, 11:59 PDT! We can't forget our Scrap Twist!!!! Scrap Twist: Use book pages or book text on your project...be creative!We have a great Grand Prize!!!!Plus many of our DT have fun RAKS for you along the hop!

Our
hop grand prize has been provided by a wonderful sponsor... Art Freckles!

Art Freckles was originally created as an online papercrafting kit company and community, but about a year and a half ago I completely switched gears and decided to focus my attention on my own passion for creating. Some of things you can find in my boutique are cards, bookmarks, coffee cozies, necklaces and bracelets, but the thing I enjoying making the most are the Art Bits papercrafting embellishments. They are quirky and fun, and with the majority of them being self-adhesive, they are super easy to use. There are a variety of themes from butterflies, to apples, to rabbits and calendar bits. They are the perfect page embellishment for scrapbooker's and cardmaker's, and non-papercrafters can use them as a fun way to jazz up an envelope or notebook!I hope you all take a moment to visit Art Freckles, and see for yourself all the wonderful goodies awaiting your discovery!

Our
grand prize winner will win a prize pack valued at $25 CAD

In addition, Art Freckles is offering 15% discount to our blog hoppers on all purchases made between Sept. 28th and Oct. 5th. The coupon code is 'SEMHOP'. Please note however, that they are currently only shipping to Canada and the United States but have graciously offered to send international if the buyer is willing to pay the international shipping.

back here at the end of the hop. The hop ends Monday October 1st 11:59pm PDT but you can continue to link up your projects until Friday October 5th 11:59pm PDT .
